Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm 2
Arm Type
Experimental
Active Comparator
Arm Label
hypocaloric diet containing increased fibers and coffee
hypocaloric diet containing red meat
Arm Description
In the intervention group the patients are allowed to eat only white meat and fish. They also need to increase their daily fiber intake to 50grams and drink 5 cups of coffee a day.
control group (n=20): diet according to the ADA/EASD guidelines (50% carbohydrates, 20% proteins, 30% fat). In the control group the patients should eat 150 grams of red meat a day and are not allowed to consume alcohol, coffee and whole grains.

Secondary Outcome Measures
total body fat
MRI measurement of the effects of 8-week diet intervention on total body fat
intramyocellular lipids
MRS measurement to investigate the effects of diet intervention on ectopic lipid content in skeletal muscle
skeletal muscle mitochondrial function - insulin signaling
muscle biopsy for assessment of insulin signaling
hepatocellular lipids
MRS measurement to investigate the effects of diet intervention on ectopic lipid content in liver(HCL)
skeletal muscle mitochondrial function - phosphate-recovery time
skeletal muscle mitochondrial function in vivo assessed as phosphate-recovery time with MRS
insulin secretion
measurement of insulin secretion with glucagon test, mixed-meal test and intravenous glucose tolerance test
pancreatic fat
MRI measurement of the effects of 8-week diet intervention on pancreatic fat

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
Diet intervention according to the German Diabetes Risk Score in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes.
This study aims to explore the effect of diet lacking red meat, but containing increased fibers and coffee (verum) versus standard recommendation (control) in a multicenter setting.
Detailed Description
This study is a randomised, multicenter controlled trial Our Aim is to test the effects of an 8-week diet lacking red meat, containing increased fibers and coffee (verum) versus standard recommendation (control)in a multicenter setting.
We are expecting that the verum diet will improve insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion due to reductions in visceral and hepatic fat along with improved adipocyte cytokine secretion profiles
